This is a thread only for my calm gamer words. Post your losses for the day and why you aren't stressed.

Me? I thought I was buying the dip and put half my stack, $8.5k, on ADA @ $1.166. I initially did stress, even sold low (1.09), I was freaking out. However, immediately bought back in. It sucks anons, but we have not seen a drip that is out of the ordinary (%) during a bull market. I know we will be back. I've lost what, $1600 today? It's a lot of money for me but I have zero doubt that will get back there. Anyway, even if it was to rebound only halfway back, or none, I would be perfectly fine. Perfectly calm now, nothing can touch me. The bear memes are funny, humor always helps. r-right anons?

About 400 in crypto BTC/ADA/DOT, around 200 in stocks. I don't know, I guess I don't think I'll actually lose in the end. I don't know where the optimism comes from.

Could have gotten an extra 76 link for the same price had I waited an hour.. tomorrow it’ll probably be $23-$24.

BUT, I’m not panicking now that I’ve calmed down.. because if I was gonna FOMO in @ $30 and put in an extra $2k later in the month for 1k should be thankful it dipped down to $28.

Psychedelic-era (60’s-70’s) jewelry and posters fren. These are pendants made by the Grateful Dead’s lead audio technician Owsley Stanley who is also known as one of the largest LSD manufacturers in the world.

He and two others manufactured and supplied all of the LSD (hundreds of millions of hits) that fueled the “summer of love” and acid era in the state of California and across the country.

They worked with the Brotherhood of Eternal love, a hippy cult (they wouldn’t like that description) to distribute the Acid across the country while on tour following jam bands :). The chemist/audio engineer, Owsley would bring acid with him on the road and would give out hundreds of hits at shows. Most notably he doses Hugh Hefner and an entire crowd of people on his “Playboy After Dark” show by spiking the coffee

Here’s a video:

Everyone’s clearly whacked out of their mind in the video lmao.. but in his retirement he was a metal smith and made pendants to sell at dead shows. Been collecting them for decades :)

Was holding AMD for some time now hoping for recovery and boom. Was green for a while, then another while, then red and red and red and finally sold at 15% loss.

I gotta be honest with you chief, you'll lose another 2 or 3k on that trade. You're already down and it's going to be sub $1 tomorrow morning. Good luck.

Hippy community certainly has its moments but like any it is filled with tales both good and bad. Thankfully I’ve never had any trouble holding my own on drugs but also understand dosing someone without consent is akin to rape (should require consent).

He was one of the first people in America to synthesize the drug so he’s effectively responsible for providing millions with their first experience to the drug. Interesting history at the very minimum :)

We’ll be back to $1.09 in no time anon. Might be a week or two before we’re back to $1.25+ but it’s not worth trying to catch it lower when the market can rebound in less than 24 hours.

Thanks a lot anons, it's a tough call. I could easily sell and it start to slightly recover, then I'm more negative. My initiall thought was that it was going down to the .90s support level and would not come back up until another announcement. I'm trying to have an objective view of it. I'm pretty new to this. I would feel pretty bad in the $.90s, not going to lie.

Bought $100 of BTC at $48k thinking it was a small dip (practicing day trading with this amount)

Not worried because I'll hold and sell later on.

Bought XLM right before the crash - the BTC price has actually maintained pretty epic

Bought Litecoin 2 weeks ago and it has been eternally crabbing, it looked like it was ready to go but every time BTC shits itself and it bricks.

Bought KMD at $1.20 and it went to $1.46, debated selling and didn't - now it's at $1.28 but BTC value is up so not too fussed.

USUALLY things come back up, but sometimes they don't. I don't fuck with crypto much so idk what fluctuates them but when it comes to stocks if the price drop was due to bad quarters, restructuring, failing to pay debt, losing profits to interest payments, changes in management... these drops usually don't come back up. Sometimes companies fuck it all up and lose 25% of their value, you have to be ready for that. I honestly don't know how your coin works so investigate why it's dropping, but the truth is it's probably dropping because the market is tanking. That means it will recover, it also means you can buy it when it's lower and grow with it. Honestly it's all hard to time and it's just experience and knowing your security.

The main thing I take away from this is that I didn't diversify like I should have. If it was 1/4 of my stack I would not even care much. Some people are saying the hype is over for ADA but that's just not true. At worst it would take another announcement to see real movement. I could try to predict the market but even if I wanted to, the time to do that was early on. It's so low now, relative to what it has been, that I don't think it's worth trying to predict. $1.16 is not a crazy price for ADA at all, IMHO. It's a steal at these levels. That's just my opinion though.

I'm out $2300 over all right now, with about $500 of that just today. I'm not scared because even if I lose my entire $9,000 investment, the way that I see it is that I was just trying to save myself. I can't blame myself for failing when I had no choice but to try.

Down about $1,500. I have around $1,200 of "house money" specifically allocated to this position, so really I'm only down $300. I intended on growing this particular profit to around $150,000 to grab some property in Mexico or lose the entire profit. Not particularly bothered yet. A full 50%+ meltdown of the markets might make sweat, not because it would ruin me, but because then I'm down like all my profit from the past 8 months (like $75,000). I'm more concerned about just being dead money for however long this drop lasts.

I got in a month ago. Poorfag, started with around $500. Got lucky on a few early calls. Bought GRT at $.018. Bought GME at $90. Sold at $350. Lost half of that on silver the next day. Currently down $2800 on some ARKF calls I bought on the 17th. The day after going 3x on some ARKF calls. Point being is I'm learning a lot, and I'm only becoming a better trader because of it. I'm honing my craft. I'm already making some of my money back swing trading these crypto waves. Maybe I'll invest in some cyclical commodities etc. Maybe not. I only really need to big big 2 or 3 times. So as long as I stay in the fight I have a puncher's chance. Enjoy the ride bros. Follow you're instincts. We're all gonna make it.

That's the worst part I've noticed about stocks. Even though trend i usually upwards, the amount you lose happens a lot quicker than the amount you gain.

>buy a stock for long hold
>1 month later up about 10%
>2 days later breakeven
>another days at a loss
>odds are it'll probably crab here and keep peaking at my buy in price
>odds are I'll sell the final time it peaks at my buy in before it decides to go up just enough that id have benefited from holding but now it just crabs there instead

Or

>buy a stock heavily
>pumps 10% over a month
>crashes in a few days
>sell at a few dollars profit rather than several thousand
>crabs for a bit and fomo in
>crashes further
>now its significantly below my original buy in
>crabs for months with a slight uptrend
>pumps
>crabs there for quite a while
>crashes in a few weeks to around the price i sold at many, many months ago

Seriously what is this? The amount of time it takes for it make any decent gains is dwarfed by how quick all those gains are lost in mere days or even a few weeks.

Got tired of stocks cause of this and became more passive aiming at stocks i believe will be up higher in the future such as my options on a long hold. Up about 2x ir 3x on them at this point.
